The signal output terminal of thesignal generation circuit 21 may be arranged in one-to-one correspondence with to the input terminal of theoperational amplification circuit 22, and the operational amplification circuit may level convert the original clock signal to output the clock signal to thegate driving circuit 4. In the related art, the number of clock signals output by the level conversion circuit 2 is the number of clock signals output by theoperational amplification circuit 22. In the related art, the number of clock signals output by the level conversion circuit 2 is a fixed quantity. However, in the display panel, thegate driving circuits 4 with different structures need different numbers of clock signals. Thus, the gate driving circuits with different structures need to be configured with level conversion circuits with different structures, which leads to a high design cost of the level conversion circuits in the related art. - Based on this, the present exemplary embodiment provides a level conversion circuit. As shown in
